Problems with imported recordings

[cncb]

I have imported some recordings from WMC and other sources so that they will all be shown in the main recordings list. I have imported these files from network paths via a generated XML file. This is causing X-NEWA to error out with the message "Unable to contact NextPVR server". It only gives this error when trying to display recordings for a specific title: i.e. no problems with the top recordings list with the counts or anything else.

Note that there are no problems displaying or playing these recordings in the X-NEWA "Web Client". The only problem I have there is that I can't seem to resume any of these recordings (I select Resume and nothing happens but Play works fine). Any ideas on either of these problems? Thanks.

I suspect the utility that you used to import files into the database didn't include some data that x-newa expects in the returned JSON data. Logs might help, or upload you npvr.db3 file somewhere and I can probably pinpoint it.

Here is the database: http://1drv.ms/1kCVSSW

I have tried to manually alter the data in the database but can't quite figure out what is missing/wrong. The only one I have been able to get to display is the "Extant" .wtv recording.

Do you have any ideas about the resume problem in the web client? It turns out that resume doesn't work for the video library either in the web client. Thanks for your help.

It is having trouble with the milliseconds in many of your time values.

I'd need to see the logs.

In the upcoming version of x-newa I include a better python time parser which allows me a way to show your lists. I did notice that your times appear to be local not GMT.

Thanks, I was able to remove the ms from the dates and now I don't get the error. However, the date is not displayed in the recordings list for some of the recordings even though when I select them the date seems valid? Also, is there any way to have a 12-hour display of the times?

I have attached the logs for the web client resume problem. I tried to Resume the file 3 times and then I selected Play to start from the beginning which succeeds. By the way, does the web client play the files directly if they can be accessed from a network share or are they always streamed (I noticed some references to VLC in the logs)?

Which shows? They seemed ok here, but maybe you need to hit refresh to reload older ones.

pkscout added the feature to use the time format set in xbmc.

It is showing as being set, if 2 seconds is wrong send the xbmc.log with web.log

Yes x-newa will always try to play play from the share before streaming with http ie \\BASE\PlayLater\The Daily Show With Jon Stewart - s19e111 - Mon, Jun 2, 2014.mp4

The VLC reference in web.log are from NEWA

The Daily Show file doesn't show any date in the list.

I'm using the Confluence X-Newa "skin" and I have XBMC set to 12-hour but I'm still seeing 24-hour in X-Newa?

It might be storing the correct resume point but it just doesn't respond when I try to Resume (never starts playback).

Is this the case for the web client run from X-Newa too (I'm not sure whether or not there is a difference)?

The Daily Show file doesn't show any date in the list.

Because it is the same as The Colbert Report

I don't know how it works, maybe pkscout can help you on a specific diaglog with a problem.

Ok, but I still need the npvr.log and xbmc.log to see if the request is being made.

Yes it should again xbmc.log would show what it tries.

I tried to resume the Daily Show recording again. It should try to resume a couple minutes into the program.

Here is xbmc log: http://sprunge.us/KhLS
NPVR logs attached.
